3 Behold, you are wiser than Daniel; there is no secret that they can hide from you:
4 With your wisdom and with your understanding you have gotten yourself riches, and have gotten gold and silver into your treasuries:
5 By your great wisdom and by your trade have you increased your riches, and your heart is lifted up because of your riches:
6 Therefore thus says the Lord GOD; Because you have set your heart as the heart of God;
7 Behold, therefore I will bring strangers upon you, the terrible of the nations: and they shall draw their swords against the beauty of your wisdom, and they shall defile your brightness.
8 They shall bring you down to the pit, and you shall die the deaths of them that are slain in the midst of the seas.
9 Will you yet say before him that slays you, I am a god? but you shall be a man, and no god, in the hand of him that slays you.
